Our firm\u00a0has become aware of a \u201cphishing\u201d scam, related to the filing of Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR).

Taxpayers who receive such a notice should not reply. The IRS has asked that all unsolicited email claiming to be from the IRS be reported to phishing@irs.gov<\/a>.\u00a0 Additional information can be located at the IRS website.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our firm\u00a0has become aware of a \u201cphishing\u201d scam, related to the filing of Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR).
